Welcome to my auctions....The time has come to sell my huge record collection over the next weeks/months...so check out my other vinyl listed, more added each week.

I am a private collector, selling my collection, I am not a dealer. Due to poor hearing, The record is sold as visually inspected so please base your bidding solely on this not what it might sound/play like. Even the most visually stunning record can have background noise, if you want perfect audio then please find another copy with audio gradings.

Led Zeppelin - Houses Of The Holy - Green and Orange Atlantic Labels - Stereo - 1973 - Earliest UK Pressing - Both Labels Have NO 'Warner Brothers' Logo (WB) They do have 'Made In UK' 'Produced By Jimmy Page' 'Superhype Publishing/Warner Bros Music (1-4) Plus Correct Earliest placement of 'Houses Of The Holy' Title - Mega Rare A2 B2 Matrix Endings - EARLIEST Mothers/stampers - Great Vinyl - Stunning Sleeve and Original Inner + Almost Impossible To Find Earliest UK Obi Strip

This copy was one of the 1st off the presses, It was given to me on the day of release by a Friend who worked in the record industry. With Earliest Matrix endings A2 B2 The mothers/stampers are the Earliest ever seen A 3 A 3 and the Obi strip is the very earliest never released (from what I understand) with just the 'Atlantic' Logo and K50014 On the back, so no stereo warning. Along with Matt Gatefold Sleeve, Thick 'MacNeill Press' Inner sleeve and Sterling RL stamps in runout, It is the rarest copy ever to come up for sale and In Great Condition.

Both sides have NO deep marks and NO deep scratches, Both sides are In really great condition, Side 1 has only a couple of the tiniest faint marks, Side 2 has a handful of extremely faint small marks and a very very faint scuff, There is the odd extremely light sleeve removal mark All in very strong artificial light, it shines beautifully and is in Stunning condition .

Labels Have no damage or wear and are clean, very light signs of being played under strong light (spiders legs) and a few very small matt patches when held in the light that came from when it was pressed...see photos

Earliest Unlaminated Gatefold Sleeve Is in Really Great Condition, minor wear to top right and bottom right corners (bottom right is a little bumped). Spine is solid and undamage, top and bottom edges are crisp and have no wear, No rubbing or ringwear to front or back or inside. Back has a tiny thumbnail crease and small crease from bottom edge. Opening edge is crisp. Inside is flat and clean. A really Superb example of this earliest sleeve ...See Photos

Earliest K50014 UK Obi Strip Is In Great clean and flat condition, there is a tiny tear on the back but it's not something that will cause it to tear in half. I've never in all my years seen another Obi with only the logo and cat number so for this one to survive is amazing

Earliest Inner sleeve has a little wear to bottom of one edge/bottom corner and a small yellow mark, no other damage and no splits, its still nice and clean and flat.

A Very Rare LP, In Great condition - Highly Sought After.


I will describe any flaws such as wear to sleeves, scuffs, marks or scratches to vinyl and describe them honestly, if you expect a better condition than I have listed then you need to learn to read. I will grade based on visual inspection under artificial light. PLEASE remember this is Vinyl...even brand new vinyl can have clicks and pops...that's part of its charm...if you want perfect audio without background noise...how about CD's or MP3's? Due to my poor hearing, The record is sold as visually inspected so please base your bidding solely on this, in the event that a record may not play well or have background noise no refund will be given because I have no way of verifying and as such, if you place a bid you are acknowledging this
